The elderly, however they are defined, experience the increasingly rapid and extensive effects of aging. The result can be a cascade of losses and changes that result in long term situational disorganization. This class will look at grief and depression as they specifically relate to the elderly, the specific developmental challenges faced by the
elderly, how it impacts organization and how the professional organizer can be an effective support to the elderly client. The class will also review how the elderly client can continue to maintain control over their life when they can’t speak for themselves.
